  http://jplesz.wordpress.com/who-am-i/ is a static PAGE that will never show up unless you use the Pages widget.

  http://jplesz.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/who-are-you/ is a blog POST.

  You will have to go to your Who Am I page , go to Edit it, click to the HTML editor, copy everything there, then either delete it or set it to Private, then go to Post->Add New and paste all that in the HTML editor, then add a title, tags, categories as desired, and Publish it. If you want to change the date to reflect November, do so on the right-hand side edit sidebar.

  When I type “who am i” into the search bar, it brings me to a page:
  http://jplesz.wordpress.com/who-am-i/
  Note that it is not dated, nor does it have categories or tags

  Dusk to Dawn does not have header tabs for pages to show: you must use a custom menu and the navigation for pages will actually be in the sidebar:
  http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/header-page-tabs/

  Please understand the differences between pages and posts:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/

  So in order for that page to appear in your archives, you must copy/paste it into a new post. Pages do not appear in archives.
